Maximum PC reviews AV

[Victek123]

Here is a review of ten AVs by Maximum PC. They are not the most in-depth, but Max-PC is credible IMHO.

Interesting. But like you posted, not in-depth reviews. However, I would trust them more than I would trust, let's say PCMag reviews. They [Maximum PC] are more professional.

By the way, ESET did poorly in THEIR review.

Bottom line, the most important statement in that whole review was:

The best protection against malware isn’t security software, it’s you, the user. You should consider antivirus software as your last line of defense, and if you really want to avoid malware—don’t we all?—you should steer clear of high-risk situations altogether.

Thanks.

Interesting, read it completely

The only problem is that on some AV's they gave lots of details regarding the tests and if they failed etc, and on other they barely said anything about it

Haha.. "There's a reason it's called Panda and not Cheetah". Lame

Not very comprehensive, but still ! Be better if they said how many nasties they threw at them All, & Exactly what they were. Also it "sounded" as if they visted different nasty www's to get infected on different AV's, "probably on different days ? If so = not a fair or accurate test =

Don't know why they didn't mention that Avast/AVG/Avira all have paid versions. Or why they didn't test those ?

The list of grievances concludes with ESET’s clunky interface. It’s not terribly difficult to find your way around, but it's just complicated enough to keep less experienced users from making changes.

Hehe if ESETs GUI is clunky then he should really get some glasses
